Closing The Distance
03:43

|
Drinking alone
By the phone
Doesn't matter
When I'm stoned
Cause the pain
That I feel
Is slightly altered
Who is the one
Who's laughing now
When I call you
To freak you out
Did you think
We could just
Smooth things over
I'm closing the distance
Between you and I
Who is gonna
Save me now
Tell me who is gonna
Save me now girl
When I am blue
I cycle through
The latest pictures
I have of you
I find it hard
To believe
It's really over
Leading me on
Like you did
Left me shattered
And disturbed
Shame on you
To delay my objective
I'm closing the distance
Between you and I
Who is gonna
Save me now
Tell me who is gonna
Save me now girl
I'm closing the distance
Between you and I
Who is gonna
Save me now
Tell me who is gonna
Save me now girl
I'm closing the distance
Who is gonna
Save me
Tell me who is gonna
Save me

Tough Words
03:23
|
|||
|
Cut a hole
With your eyes
Put your foot
Through the floor
Break things that are
Near to you
And don't stop
Slamming the door
Break ties
With the guys
That you
Don't need anymore
Tough words from a
Hell of a girl she'll get
Up in your face and
She knows
Who's boss here
You could try
To be nice
Sugar coat it and all
Do things that would
Help the world and
Make peace
With your mom
Make love to the guys
That you've been
Blaming too long
Tough words from a
Hell of a girl she'll get
Up in your face and
She knows
Who's boss here
My take as a
Matter of fact is that
She needs some tact
And a change of tactic
Tough words from a
Hell of a girl she'll get
Up in your face and
She knows
Who's boss here

Matter of fact is that
She needs some tact
And a change of tactic

Western City Walks
03:00
|
|||
|
Western city walks and
Jogs along the sea
And I am not benign to
Your inconsistency
I am not alone when
You are not my friend
Cause you are not the one
That I've grown to depend
I wouldn't mind if only
You were good to me
Someone's at the door and
Someone's on my knee
And I am not benign to
The way you've treated me
You are not my problem
Cause you are not my friend
And you don't have the right
To throw the final bend
I wouldn't mind if only
You were good to me
I wouldn't mind if only
She knew what to do
Still I don't know
I love you so
Now she might leave
You're drowning me
I wouldn't mind if only
You were good to me
I wouldn't mind if only
She knew what to do

B.B.C. World
03:03

|
In this 3rd world war
With so much to lose
There is one news source
With the facts to prove
I wake up to a
B.B.C. world
With the climate change
In this war for crude
In the search for truth
B.B.C. shines through
I wake up to a
B.B.C. world
You can learn from these
Real time lectures
B.B.C. painting
Broadband pictures

Big Men
03:46
|
|||
|
Take me to the bank
And get me a loan
I hope the interest rates
Are still real low
There is one more thing
That I need to buy
To maintain the dream
And to live the lie
It's time to buy a condo
And fill it with gear
I'll pay for it slowly
Over 25 years
Oh my God I hope
That my credit's good
I'll buy insurance
If they say I should
Big men who control
All the money
In every country
They have us working
They try their best to
Distract us with
Religion and fear
It's not as hard to
Accept this
After 4 or 5 beer
There's a war
In the desert
That will never be won
The people who
Planned it think
It's good clean fun
Big men who control
All the money
In every country
They have us working
Big news is
Controlled by
These people
And they are evil
They kill for profit
Big men who control
All the money
In every country
They have us working
Big news is
Controlled by
These people
And they are evil
They kill for profit

Cloud Nine II
03:20
|
|||
|
Been known to
Change my mind
From time to time
When things
Cross the line
I didn't mean to
Tear your heart
All apart
But I warned you
From the start
I'll take you so high
High off the ground
And without no warning
I'll drop you back down
From up on cloud nine
Down to
Ground zero now
I guess you'd like
To have my head
Maybe hope I'm dead
Before I go and
Hurt again
I'll tell you now
Before I die
I may have run
But I never lie
You know I'm the type
That just don't cry
I'll take you so high
High off the ground
And without no warning
I'll drop you back down
And I look shy
So you didn’t know
I have no feelings
I’m letting you go
From up on cloud nine
Down to
I took you so high
High off the ground
And without no warning
I dropped you
Back down
And I look shy
So you didn’t know
I have no feelings
I’m letting you go
From up on cloud nine
Down to
Ground zero now

Black Hole Anna
04:00
|
|||
|
She pulls me in
Like a bird of prey
Dark around her eyes
Hides the light
Trapped within
She's a hole in space
The closer I get
The more I lose
Anna
She bends the view
Of who she really is
A supermassive
Hole in the sky
But still she
Keeps me alive
She's a hole in space
The closer I get
The more I lose
Her universal brace
Spins me around
And I can't move
Anna
She gets so hot
And burns my skin
She's just too dense
And I can't win
She's a hole in space
The closer I get
The more I lose
Her universal brace
Spins me around
And I can't move
Anna
Anna
Anna

If I Set You Free
03:07

|
I am just a boy
And you're such a
Lovely girl
You've touched me
In a way
That I don't know
How to say
I will guarantee
You all the
Love inside of me
I know I'm just a kid
But that don't mean
We can't kiss
Up in Barry's Bay
Let's leave
This place today
I will guarantee
You all the
Love inside of me
If I set you free
Would you
Give your heart to me
With your lipstick on
And when your
Hair is done
I can't look away
No no
I can't look away
I will guarantee
You all the
Love inside of me
If I set you free
Would you
Give your heart to me
I will guarantee
You all the
Love inside of me
If I set you free
Would you
Give your heart to me

Skyscraper
02:59

|
So now you know
I miss you so
And while I scream
Do you hear me
You make me feel
Like I’m falling
From a skyscraper
You should’ve been
A trend setter
Time showed your
Hidden side
Guess I should
Have known better
You make me feel
Like I’m falling
From a skyscraper
You should’ve been
A trend setter
Time showed your
Hidden side
Guess I should
Have known better
Oh how it grew
My love for you
And in your dreams
Do you see me
You make me feel
Like I’m falling
From a skyscraper
You should’ve been
A trend setter
Time showed your
Hidden side
Guess I should
Have known better
You make me feel
Like I’m falling
From a skyscraper
You should’ve been
A trend setter
Time showed your
Hidden side
Guess I should
Have known better
You make me feel
Like I’m falling
From a skyscraper
You should’ve been
A trend setter
Time showed your
Hidden side
Guess I should
Have known better
You make me feel
Like I’m falling
From a skyscraper
You should’ve been
A trend setter
Time showed your
Hidden side
Guess I should
Have known better
